A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits eyes closed on an ornate silver-and-red throne in a hall. He wears a rust-orange shawl over his body, a heavy gold multi-strand necklace with a large gold pendant, gold armbands and a red tilak on his forehead, and holds a small silver trident-topped staff in his left hand. Seated before him, a man in white ritual clothing with a shaved head faces away from the camera beside a drum and a black Yamaha speaker. Behind them, devotees in white and orange shawls sit and stand, with a wall display of framed images above. A silver pedestal fan stands at left. Probable Swamiji: the long swept-back hair, saffron-orange shawl, and heavy gold necklace are visible cues for the seated figure on the throne.
